Enhanced in-situ bioremediation (EISB) is a cost-effective groundwater remediation technology for chlorinated solvents such as tetrachloroethene (PCE) and trichloroethene (TCE). Laboratory and field data have shown that the Dehalococcoides group of microorganisms is solely responsible for the complete dechlorination of PCE and TCE to ethene.

Why is this important? First, not all sites contain Dehalococcoides. This means that cis-1,2-dichloroethene (cis-1,2-DCE) can accumulate during EISB. Second, not all strains of Dehalococcoides have the gene called vinyl chloride ...
